Comments: This quadrilateral is an NGS Earth Movement Study site. Previous NGS surveys are leveling surveys. Bench marks were established in 1969 and are standard NGS bronze tablets. Bench marks A, B, and E were not found in 1989. The NGS determ ined bench marks heights by precise leveling. UCSB determined heights with a Wild TC2000 total station distance meter in 1989. Heights differ between the two agencies between 5 and 10 cm, probably because of the inaccuracy of determining heights by trigo nometric leveling.
